Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death

inglés; cita en su lengua el latín, el francés, el italiano y el alemán dentro del cuerpo, de los apéndices y de las notasel prefacio quedó sin terminar y lo forman «several passages written at different times by the author, who died on January 17th, 1901» (p. 4); el «Editor's Note» de esta abreviación dice «NEARLY four years have elapsed since the first appearance of my Father's book» sin dar año (p. 2)

Abreviación en un volumen de la obra que Myers dejó inacabada al morir: el «Editor's Note» que abre el tomo la firma un hijo con las iniciales *L. H. M.* y declara que el original costaba dos guineas y salió en dos volúmenes de poco menos de setecientas páginas cada uno «Myers — Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death (abreviación, s. f.) · p. 2». El abreviador dice haber seguido las indicaciones que el propio autor dejó sobre cómo abreviarlo, y haber reducido el número de casos de los apéndices —la mitad de cada volumen del original— conservando enteros los que quedan «Myers — Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death (abreviación, s. f.) · p. 3».

El libro monta una escala continua que va de las disgregaciones de la personalidad al genio, el sueño, el hipnotismo, los automatismos sensorial y motor, los fantasmas de los muertos, el trance, la posesión y el éxtasis, y apoya en esa escala la tesis del yo subliminal: una consciencia más ancha que la que cruza el umbral, de la que la personalidad despierta es un recorte «Myers — Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death (abreviación, s. f.) · p. 15». El glosario que precede al cuerpo marca con asterisco los términos que el autor declara suyos —entre ellos *telepathy*, *supernormal*, *subliminal*, *retrocognition*, *psychorrhagy* y *metetherial*— y define el resto tomándolos de la medicina y de la investigación psíquica «Myers — Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death (abreviación, s. f.) · p. 7».

Sobre el estatuto de lo que ofrece, el prefacio se acota a sí mismo: dice que el libro es exposición y no prueba «Myers — Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death (abreviación, s. f.) · p. 6», y el abreviador repite la acotación advirtiendo que vale con más fuerza todavía para su versión «Myers — Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death (abreviación, s. f.) · p. 3». Los apéndices son casos —cartas de testigos, informes de la Society for Psychical Research, relatos de percipientes y de médiums— citados en extenso y firmados por sus autores, no tesis del autor del volumen.

«THE book which is now at last given to the world is but a partial presentation of an ever-growing subject which I have long hoped to become able to treat in more adequate fashion. But as knowledge increases life rolls by, and I have thought it well to bring out while I can even this most imperfect text-book to a branch of research whose novelty and strangeness call urgently for some provisional systematisation, which, by suggesting fresh inquiries and producing further accumulation of evidence, may tend as speedily as possible to its own supersession.»abre el prefacio acotando lo que ofrece: presentación parcial de un asunto que crece, manual imperfecto de una rama de investigación cuya novedad pide una sistematización provisional destinada, dice, a ser superada por ella misma

«We gradually discovered that the accounts of apparitions at the moment of death—testifying to a supersensory communication between the dying man and the friend who sees him—led on without perceptible break to apparitions occurring after the death of the person seen, but while that death was yet unknown to the percipient, and thus apparently due, not to mere brooding memory, but to a continued action of that departed spirit.»describe la continuidad que dice haber descubierto poco a poco: de las apariciones en el momento de la muerte a las que ocurren después de ella, sin ruptura perceptible

«My personal identity, therefore, implies the continued existence of that indivisible thing which I call myself. Whatever this self may be, it is something which thinks, and deliberates, and resolves, and acts, and suffers. I am not thought, I am not action, I am not feeling; I am something that thinks, and acts, and suffers. My thoughts and actions and feelings change every moment; they have no continued, but a successive existence; but that self or I, to which they belong, is permanent, and has the same relation to all succeeding thoughts, actions, and feelings which I call mine.... The identity of a person is a perfect identity; wherever it is real it admits of no degrees; and it is impossible that a person should be in part the same and in part different, because a person is a monad, and is not divisible into parts.»sigue el mismo pasaje de Reid: la identidad personal implica la existencia continuada de una cosa indivisible, y la identidad de una persona no admite grados porque la persona es una mónada
